Replacing Starter Rope And Rewind Spring - Stihl MS 360 C Instruction Manual

To reduce the risk of fire and burn
injury, use only spark plugs
authorized by STIHL. Always press
spark plug boot (2) snugly onto
spark plug boot (1) of the proper
size. (Note: If boot has detachable
SAE adapter nut, it must be
attached.) A loose connection
between spark plug boot and
ignition wire connector in the boot
may create arcing that could ignite
combustible fumes and cause a fire.
